A Collection of Prayers for All Times and Seasons

This treasury is a prayer companion for all time. It will accompany you on your prayer journey during different times of the day, different days of the week, different months of the year, and different liturgical seasons.

You can turn to this prayerbook while you worship at Sunday or daily Mass, the Church’s greatest prayer. An entire section is devoted to prayers that can be said before and after Communion.

This prayerbook will provide food for contemplation during visits to the Blessed Sacrament or as you meditate on the sufferings and death of Jesus while praying the Stations of the Cross.

There also are a number of familiar and perhaps not-so-familiar Psalms included in this treasury. These universal prayers, the public prayer par excellence of the People of God, will offer you the opportunity to recall the truths that God revealed to the Chosen People as well as experience the gamut of human emotions that the Psalms encompass.

This prayerbook features sections devoted to prayers to Our Blessed Mother, St. Joseph, and Patron Saints. These prayers can serve

as the basis of the words you speak to those who intercede with God on your behalf.

This collection of prayers is a worthy accompaniment to the Christian life. It also serves as a reminder of the words of St. John Chrysostom, Doctor of the Church, who said: “It is possible to offer fervent prayer even while walking in public or strolling alone, or seated in your shop,. .. while buying or selling, … or even while cooking.”

May this treasury help you to believe fervently in these profound words of St. John Chrysostom: “Nothing is equal to prayer; for what is impossible, it makes possible, what is difficult, easy.”
